    I underestimated my E30 today.

    Well, since I'm unemployed right now, and extremely bored I went out for a drive along the beach in my recently purchased e30. I saw this ridiculous Corvette right as I was about to take a u-turn and got kinda excited. You see, I just finished rebuilding the engine in my 325is, and it's purring real nice. I haven't done the manual swap I've been planning yet, so keep it mind it's an auto. Well, the light turns green and I stomp it for the u-turn. I guess I immediately started to spin and just kept going around on my old tires. Finally I stopped, facing in the direction I needed to go. Everyone was kinda looking at me like WTF? So I stomped it again and peeled outta there! I had a nice hearty laugh to myself as I cruised to the next red light where everyone in the previous intersection caught up to me. Damn, I really underestimated the power of my car, even as an auto. I can't wait to do the swap. Then maybe I'll have a reason to lose control!

    I remember the first time i do a 360 trying to make a u-turn in the rain. bald all-season tires suck ass. E30's are the shit.

              Well actually, yes. I've been driving FWD 4 cylinder vehicles for the past few years, so I guess I need to get back in the bimmer groove. Just thought it was funny, that's all.

                  I'm also from the fwd (vw) world and I just recently got the rear end loose on the e30. My grin was from ear to ear. I guess some of us just get stoked really easily.

                        wait 'til it snap oversteers on an off ramp in the rain, RWD takes a little getting used to though I will admit

                          Yea its kind of fun kicking a rwd sideways. My father has a 650hp ford truck that will do that completely up a highway on ramp. Good times.
                          I was born with nothing and still have most of it left

                          Im not apposed to wiping my ass with my jizz rag
